BIS went to the smallest dog in the ring, the Papillion, Cobb. This poster child for the phalaene, the drop ear version of the butterfly dog, has been knocking off the toughest competition in Toy Groups all year, and now has two all breed BIS this year. Congratulations to breeders/owners Kim McKay & Murray Berg, co-breeder James Barnes, co-owners Salwa Alfadl & Mary Jo Loye, and handler John Oulton.
